【 摘 要 】

Modern carbon nanomaterials (carbon nanotubes, graphenes, fullerenes, polycyclic molecules) are products of rather complicated technologies. Therefore development of new not expensive materials on the basis of natural substances, in particular high-molecular compounds of oil - asphaltenes, is actual for nanoelectronics. Asphaltenes are complex materials that are found in crude oil, bitumen and high-boiling hydrocarbons distillates. Usually asphaltenes are composed mainly of polyaromatic carbon with a small amount of vanadium and nickel, which are in porphyrin structures. Molecules of asphaltenes may contain 5-10-member benzene and naphthenic rings in their structure and also have paramagnetic centers. A variety of techniques: electronic phenomenological spectroscopy (EPS), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and quantum chemistry calculations were used to define the structure of oil asphaltenes. It was supposed that asphaltene fraction is a strong donor (ionization potential 4.10-6.70 eV) and an acceptor (electron affinity 1.80-2.50 eV). The structures of asphaltenes fragments were calculated by RHF-6-31G∗∗ methods. AFM images of asphaltenes obtained from crude oil showed the presence of structure fragments ranged from 3 to 10 nm, disposed to strong intermolecular interactions. We used doped compounds for formation of wide band gap amorphous semiconductors from a concentrates of asphaltens. Changes of conductivity in dispersed petroleum systems (DPS) were studied during a pyrolysis at 500 K. The numerous experiments defined of conductivity testify about phase transitions dielectric - semiconductor in DPS for range of 360 - 400 K. The main conclusion is paramagnetic phase of asphaltenes is organic amorphous wide band gap semiconductor. Besides this substance can be consider as an organic spin glasses.
